Love the products and the app is mostly logically laid out. However the one thing I think it’s really lacking is widgets which have been out for multiple years on iOS now. I have multiple temp and humidity controls and it would be nice to monitor any or all of them. Pool temp and the list just goes on and on options wise. One day I hope to see them integrate this feature as it’s becoming more and more integral to iOS and the ecosystem.

I got these after discovering that the gfi was tripped on the outlet a fridge in my garage is plugged into and I didn’t notice until it had completely warmed up and I had to throw away almost everything in it. The sensors are working great but it’s hard to set the narrow temperature range that’s needed for a fridge. I initially downloaded the app on my phone then added it to my iPad hoping it would be easier to set but it isn’t much bigger. I had to move the top temp up just to be able to grab the lower one but still struggled to get it precisely where I wanted both the high and low. I finally figured out that rocking my finger slightly was the best way to fine tune the temp setting but it’s still difficult, and my fingers are pretty normal woman sized. Maybe I got the wrong type of sensor but I don’t know if there’s one that has a smaller range that would make the controls easier to work. The ones I got said they were good for freezers and refrigerators. A bigger, wider control would definitely be helpful.

We had a water filter under a sink get detached and flood our upstairs bathroom. Despite it being late at night the alarm on the unit went off (and the app notified us, but our phones were on silent) and we were able to shut the water off within a ten minutes of the leak. This water detector’s beeping allowed us to stop it before it became much worse! We would have slept through the night and the water leak would have causes massive damage. 10/10
